Introduction Terrorism: The use of violence and threats to intimidate or

coerce especially for political purposes. Quote: “Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war on

What is the main reason terrorists make dangerous attacks?

Most terrorists have attacked for the same reason, the USA is the most powerful and greedy country in the world. The government also causes attacks with bad decisions.

As the power of the USA has grown the more incidents were reported.

Where do terrorists attack the most?

Terrorists tend to aim at the bigger and more important building to the citizens and government.

A big and very fatal attack happened on 9/11/2001. Terrorists attacked the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.

What role does the government play in

terrorism? The government has made many

mistakes and this causes some people to turn against the decisions and start to attack the government.

This problem is sometimes solved when a new president/leader is elected.

Why won’t the government do anything about

terrorism? The government can’t always take

control of the terrorism because there have been wars to look after.

The USA has been a bit more vulnerable because of the war in Afghanistan.

For community service I volunteered at a store every year on Thanksgiving. I gave out food to all the homeless people who came and didn’t have food.
